OPAL got recc'd this on youtube and loved it- reminds me a lot of late 60's and early 70's records i used to hear playing out of my parents' stereo on sweltering summer days. Favorite track: You.

frogkin I heard the track ‘you’ and bought the cd 9 seconds later, just totally blown away by it. Love the soundscape and proggy flourishes. It’s a fantastic listen, give it a try and give in to the music.

distant planet Canterbury inspired but with a contemporary upgrade. A stunningly original progressive rock opus.
If you like bands like National Health, Egg or Hatfield & The North, you need to listen to this. Favorite track: You.

about

ZOPP RETURNS! British progressive rock act, ZOPP, return with their sophomore album ‘DOMINION’, the follow up to their award-winning* self titled album, released in 2020.

‘Dominion’ showcases a clear progression in the sound of Zopp resulting in an epic 42 minute journey spanning avant-garde, jazz, ambient, folk, psychedelic rock and endless heaps of PROG.

Ryan W Stevenson, the man behind Zopp (composer, mixer, producer, performer… heck, basically everything but the drums which have once again been masterfully performed by Leviathan’s Andrea Moneta) recorded the album at his home studio located in the suburbs of Nottingham, UK, over the past 3 years.

To those who have been following Zopp from its inception, there’s one major difference you will notice this time round - there are vocals! Moving on from the instrumental Canterbury Scene infused neo-prog of the first album, Zopp now evolves into a form more reminiscent of Marillion or Yes and yet creates a new, unique and instantly identifiable sound that sets them apart from the rest of the progressive music scene.

Purists, do not worry! Zopp’s fuzzed organ and technical playing style remains present, yet matured. ‘I think it’s more bombastic than the first album.’ States Ryan, ‘Writing a 14 minute progressive piece like ‘Toxicity’ where the song continuously flows was a challenge, but a successful experiment nevertheless. It’s important for me to throw all sorts of elements into the mix, from varied sources of music that are inspiring to me. I’ve really been into bands like King Gizzard and Tame Impala the last few years; not only their psychedelic sound, but also their DIY, independent approach to making music.’

‘DOMINION’ is to be self-released on February 3rd 2023 via their own imprint, Flat Circle Records.

Reviews:

'Dominion is a fantastic release, and it’s an improvement on Zopp’s stellar debut.' (94/100, TheEliteExtremophile.com).

'These guys have scored another huge hit with DOMINION'. (5/5, SllyPuppy/ Progarchives.com).

'Without a doubt, one of the albums that will make people talk this year. It is already emerging as one of the most outstanding.' (ProgJazz.org).

'Come on everybody, wondering if we have already bumped into one of the best creations in 2023. Let me say it's not overestimating.' (5/5, DamoXt7942 Progarchives.com)

Insolubilia
by Ske

supported by 128 fans who also own “Dominion”

Mysterious, yet nostalgic, Isolubilia is truly an ode to the romance found in the pursuit of a mystery. Musically rich in turbulence and serenity, majesty and humbleness, this album made me feel both lonely, yet understood as an isolated individual. Perhaps we're all fellow romantics, looking up at the same night sky, trying to wring our own meaning out of the stars. I hope that pursuit never ends. The John

This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all. After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass. PartTimeZombie

I'm a recent Sanguine Hum convert and I can't believe it's taken me until now to discover them! This is a simply fabulous album. If you're a Steven Wilson, Anathema or even a Gentle Giant, Jellyfish or Hatfield and the North fan, get yourself a copy. Great musicianship, wonderful melodies, superb voice, top songwriting.

Though only their third studio album release, these veterans have been around for almost fifteen years--and they keep getting better with each release--which is hard to manage since their quality of compositions, performances, and production have always been top notch. A band that really should be heard! wafiii
